I'm not saying he's an all-round upstanding guy. I even heard he refuses (or refused?) admitting to having a daughter outside of marriage. But we also need to keep in mind that he's a dinosaur at this point, and expecting progressive views from an old rich dude from Hong Kong/China is pushing it.

But the weird thing is that this CCP pandering attitude of people born in HK is a modern phenomenon. Before reunification most Hongkongers wanted independence from the mainland.
